During my university years I was a radio journalist. And thanks to the Mladiinfo newsletter I got to know about the Young Journalist Award of the European Commission. I applied with a radio piece, and I was selected as winner in Hungary! The prize was traveling to Berlin, where I met the winners from other European countries

Mladiinfo gave me every opportunity a student needs. I attended numerous courses, acquired so much beautiful friendships, boosted my networking, and thus became a functional and active member of the society.

I highly recommend this site to anyone who is in search for scholarships, grants, student competitions, traineeships, jobs, volunteering opportunities etc. Mladiinfo can really enable you links to free educational opportunities.
